calling cops-update

My neighbor called the cops on her upstairs neighbor. The story is the upstairs neighbors were being super loud so she banged the cupboards and the neighbors went apeshit. i heard them threatening and something about a bald bitch and how she will get whats coming to her. so according to her she went up stairs to say sorry and they threatened her saying she is lucky they didn't beat her and again she is going to get whats coming to her. the police were called. what would you do in this situation? I am afraid now

Update....I am the "neighbor" i am just embarrassed and afraid to say so. i banged the cupboards 3x and they went crazy. (they bang and thunk at night and tonight was way worse than normal) they said i was messing with their family and that that person will get there's. i am embarrassed and ashamed but no one can threaten me. yes i was passive aggressive but threatening to beat me is not ok, that is illegal. I am going to talk to apartment and hopefully move out.. the police said they will have to right me up for banging 3x on the wall which i have spoke to the neighbors about( but they didn't bc the neighbors threatened me. ) they said they would beat me. I love my apartment but cant live live this. other than move do i have options? thanks

Should i move out, talk to the apartment company, is it my fault even though they threatened my life. your opinion?

The Apartment management is letting us do month to month so if things don't improve or I still dont feel safe once this all blows over we get to leave. This isnt the first time the cops have been called on them (1st time was not related to us) The manager said they talk mean but are actually not. The manager also said not to blame myself because neighbors were way off base. Thank you for all the replies.

Embarrassed about what?? We all have our moments. Did you ever consider walking upstairs and asking them politely to keep it down? Ultimately your safety and your child/children are most important. So if you want to move in order to feel safe and you have the money to do so than go for it.

Can you move to another apartment in the complex. One the furthest away from the neighbors? If you can break the lease AND be able to I would see if you could do that just for safety reasons.

The next time you have loud neighbors just go up and talk to them about the noise level. If they insist on being loud then go talk to the manager. It's up to the manager to quell all problems with noise, etc.

Do you have other neighbors? I know when I lived in an apartment, my neighbor's dog would bark from the moment I got home until my neighbor got home (about 8 hrs). Neighbor thought I was the one who complained but I actually caught him and asked him to take his lunch break to come home and bring the dog to me (he worked across the street). Finally, one night, everyone in our building was outside trying to figure out where the dog was...the next day they had a notice on their door to get rid of the dog or to move out....I never complained until the guy's girlfriend came back and brought in 3 more dogs. I lost it then because she would stick them on the porch to use the bathroom and deny it when I confronted her about it. Anyway, the point is, document and go in force about the issue.
